eBay Feedback Can Be Fun Fancy or Funny Buyers & Sellers

Every once in a while I will get a feedback from one of my customers or a seller that REALLY stands out. Personally I have leaned toward the more conservative side when leaving feedback on eBay, until today! I have always mixed it up and never left the exact same feedback for every person, every single time. I also try to take advantage of all or most of the space provided. I also do leave special feedback for those eBay users that were just... extra special, but still stay "conservative" even then. I was thinking today though.... why can't it always be fun, friendly, pretty, or the kind of feedback that is sure to make someone smile? 

Here is a simple list I have compiled that has some of my favorite pages/sites for my readers to get their creative juices flowing or simply copy/paste (I will keep adding more so check back). All credit goes to the creators of these great guides/sites/blogs/generators etc.
  1. 101 Fun And Fancy eBay Feedback Designs (On eBay)
  2. How To Leave a Funny Feedback (On eBay - not funny but another nice list)
  3. Ebays Most Funniest,Creative & Wackiest, Feedbacks (On eBay & a Fave of Mine)
  4. Fun Feedback - Cut And Paste!   (On eBay Nice collection)
  5. Positive Feedback Samples To Leave Buyers & Sellers (On eBay)
  6. Ebay Feedback Generator (Feedback generator site - Simple to use)
  7. Feeling Lazy Feedback Generators (Another Generator site - Simple to use)
  8. DO YOU HAVE A LIST or Feedback Site? -  Send to us, if we add credit will go to you!
  9. coming soon
  10. coming soon
Don't forget if you want quick access to this list any time or just to check for updates be sure to  bookmark my blog so you can pull it up whenever you need some help with leaving the PERFECT feedback.   

Fun Just Stands Out & Makes People Smile
So Be Brave, Have Fun, Be Noticed!


Another thing to remember about feedback in my opinion is it can be another chance to be sure to make a person REMEMBER YOU. Then again when others look at the feedback it makes them want to check out "who left that silly feedback" too, and you just never know that curiosity could lead to said person then seeing something in your eBay store that they just cannot live without. It's the little things... that make the biggest impact sometimes in multiple ways...

Free Easy To Use Fee & Profit Calculator For Ebay & PayPal 2014

I love using the best offer option on my listings and I do get a lot of offers from buyers. My first problem I run into when deciding whether to accept their offer is "What will my profit be". I had searched online for a calculator to help me figure out quickly on the spot how much I was going to profit or lose when I received an offer but hadn't been able to find one I really liked.
Every calculator I found was either completely outdated, overly complicated or did not take all factors into consideration. For example many were missing the - what your actual shipping cost oop was. Then all of them were missing "my cost for product" which is a very important factor.

Then today EUREKA! Jackpot, we have a winner! Simple, fast, up to date (2014) and it took each factor I needed it to into consideration. Not only did it show me what each fee would be & broke it down in very easy to read way it also told me right there in black & white what my profit would be so I didn't even have to do any math at all.  Drum Roll Please..........................

Ebay/PayPal 2014 Fee & Profit Calculator

Simple 2 Page Website - One Page is For Ebay Sellers and all fees including PayPal applicable for eBay selling. The second page is just for PayPal, so for instance if you sell say on FaceBook or a personal site and take PayPal there is a very simple calculator for you as well that simply covers PayPal Fees. 

This is by far the most simple calculator I have found and not one of these outdated ones from 2013 or before. Simple site with calculator for eBay sellers to enter all of your information then have it calculate all the fees for you and show you what they will be & also what your PROFIT will be taking all things into consideration.... Including your purchase price for your item & your actual shipping cost.Of course this makes deciding whether to accept offers easy & fast, but it also helps all around with daily listing or when planning a sale. It is just a great tool to have a little shortcut to on any device you work eBay from.  

There are some ads on the page which is understandable I feel. The creator made a very simple way for eBay sellers to quickly figure out the math without all the frills.... so of course it is to be expected that they get something in return for offering a great FREE tool for us to use. Which is why I understand a few ads on the site and I do really appreciate that they don't have all kinds of flashy ads all over that are going to lock up my computer.

The site even has instructions (right underneath the calculator). They really aren't needed but I think it was nice that they put them there just in case. It makes it so even a complete novice could use with no problem at all.

Ya Know I Love Sparklies & Found Beautiful Jewelery Seller On Etsy

Hey there ya all... as anyone who knows me whether from one of the many social sites I am on or you know me in real life you know I am very fond of pretty things... more affectionately called "my favorite sparklies" because this is a term my baby girls know what I mean.

I am also a fan of things that are in my opinion different. I have gotten into the whole social media thing much more lately and today while networking aka browsing around in a group I am pretty new to I came across some really neat items, from some really great sellers. I wish I had time to share them all but for now I feel I just HAVE to share this one sellers shop that their items really popped out to me. So much so I shared them on everything I could think of and now blogging about FireWireWorks on Etsy too. 

If you love beautiful quality pieces that I promise will be sure to catch attention, then this shop is for YOU! The name of their shop itself just demands attention (and let me add it is deserved attention). 
https://www.etsy.com/shop/firewireworks   (Etsy Store)

https://www.facebook.com/firewire.works  (FaceBook)


Currently they have a coupon code too if you enter coupon code Fireworks25 you get $25 off any item $90+  Valid Until July 6th 2014 (This is really one of those Don't Wait & Miss It Kind Of Deals).

Here is one of my personal favorites. One of the ones I have added to my own personal "Hubby Hints Gift List" which is a little way I have to share with him the shops & items I love online so he knows for Birthdays, Holidays, and just whenever he feels like showing me how wonderful a wife I am.... 

Divine Alignment Labradorite,  Sea Sediment Jasper, Amethyst 925 & 14k YGF                   
This item above can be found in their shop right now.
It is FAR from cheaply made, as I am sure you can tell by looking at it. The craftsmanship is exceptional & materials used include: Labradorite, Sea Sediment Jasper, Amethyst 925 & 14k YGF - this is NOT your Walmart junk by far and that is just one of the reasons their items caught my attention. 

While visiting their shop DO NOT MISS THEIR RINGS - they are not only beautiful but some of them, at least to me have a "feeling" when looking at them. Like the one I am going to share here. This ring just makes me feel wild,a bit mysterious and a spark of that evil side peering through.... fantasy also comes to mind as well. Now whether they were going for this look I do not know, but with any art many times it is what the customer/viewer sees/feels that really is what even the artist is going for... and in sales it is important that your items actually spark an emotion or a feeling in the customer and this seller/artist has that part nailed!



Size 5 (wideband) Agate Ring wrapped in .925 and 14/20GF

Okay, I am going to let you visit https://www.etsy.com/shop/FireWireWorks and decide for yourself. I however would NOT be sharing this here if I did not believe that it was 100% worth sharing. Those who know me from my blog, or anywhere on line or in offline life know I am always so busy I barely get time to blog anymore SO you know for me with this shop.... it was love at first sight. 

FireWireWorks & their Etsy shop lit a spark so to speak and got me started finally writing about shops I adore. SO THANK YOU.... and yep I have you on that special Hubby Hint Shopping List if mine, so hoping to be wearing one of your pieces in as near of future as possible...

Update On Our Home Made AC Cooling Unit

Okay in defense of the people on YouTube who actually put more than 5 minutes effort into their homemade systems..... I do see where it CAN work. Did it work out for us???? This will be shortest blog post ever.... it was an EPIC FAIL as my oldest son would say.....

I will add photos tomorrow of our nightmare version - aka Frankenstein - homemade AC cooling unit.... And hints on the "what not to do" when making one. 

Also I will be blogging about a very neat little unit purchased at Walmart that you get a log of cooling bang for your buck!  Yes end result was my dad killed the AC unit we cleaned out and wound up one sweating hot day and a trip to Walmart when Dad finally admitted the other unit got broken during cleaning... well his exact words "I didn't break it but it will take a few MONTHS to dry". The little unit we got though really kicks butt....

So stay tuned for July 3rd's (tomorrow) AC topic posts. 

Just didn't want ya all thinking I forgot about you...
